IPL - Transfer/Trade/Auction Thread

[Precambrian]

Taibu is brilliant, i'd gladly take him in.

He is an excellent keeper. However KKR would lose out on the overall balance of the team if he gets selected for keeping ability only.

Precambrian added 0 Minutes and 32 Seconds later...

Hayden will play the full tournament anyway wouldn't he? Around that time where only playing ODI's and T20's.

He should be.

Mr. Dravid is not even Captain of any Challenger Trophy Team --- Mallya (Owner of Royal Challenge Banglore Team)

Very well said, I would like to add more:

1. When IPL started Dravid was not in ODI team,not 20-20 squad,then also he was captained (At least this one is OK,the remaining list is horrible)
2. Jaffer came to open inngs of T20 game..man he was not in ODI ,how can he open T20?!!,just because he is a Test opener?!!
3. Sunil Joshi,possibly around 38-40 years old,not played for any International game for atleast 5-7 years,he also played few games for IPL 20-20 matches!

I guess we will see lot of changes and new players in this team (Banglore team)for 2nd IPL season.

 

[shantanu_rooney]

We have

Nel
Prince
Bosman
Bravo
Fernando
Ronchi
Jayasuriya
Thornley

We have 2 places remaining so we might get KP and Freddie both . Seriously even one great player will be ok. We have a great young side and KKR should agree as they were bowled out for 67. We need to find a replacement for Pollock.

Well heard that MI made a trade offer for Zaheer Khan...but was rejected by Mallya becoz the offer was ridiculous. ZaK for Nehra.

gahh Deccan Chargers have signed Ryan Harris through the IPL rule that allows teams to recruit uncapped players directly.

Havent even see this guy play any cricket yet, wonder how hes like?

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

We are looking to sign Oasis Shah and Freddie today read in newspaper and mostlikely KP will land in Mumbai Indians

 

[.Mob]

Nel
Prince
Bosman
Bravo
Fernando
Ronchi
Jayasuriya
Thornley

You forgot Dwayne Smith, and Malinga, but I think the former was the replacement for the latter, not sure though.

WC - Oasis? haha! I don't want KP to land in MI either, it will decrease the chances for Abhishek to shine!

Hope he goes to Bangalore.

Lehman is a real fan favourite in Oz cricket. He was a very good domestic batsman and was also a handy slow bowler. He also had a bald patch on his head. He played international cricket for Oz when Steve Waugh was captain.

I hope my home club CSK gets either Flintoff or Tait. Badly need a good pace bowler to bowl in tandem with Ntini.

 

[bushy]

Shane harwood is a chance for playing for the royals. he was chased last season.

also expect alot more aussie state players. the likes of quiney blizzard crosthwaite dan harris steve magoffin etc to be recruited

 

[Cricketman]

I'm officially predicting that KP will go to Bangalore. MI have enough star power already.

Smith came as Bravo's replacement and Bravo came in as Malinga's replacement.
KP will be a major hit over here in Mumbai. Here is the team if KP joins MI.

Sachin
Jayasuriya
KP
Nayar
Bravo
Uthappa
Ronchi
Bhajji
Kulkarni
Nehra
Raje

and if KP doesnt join

Sachin
Jayasuriya
Uthappa
Nayar
Bravo
Ronchi

Sehwag-Warner opening for Delhi Daredevils on a Firozshah kotla Flat Pitch. man i cant wait for IPL 2009 to start. we might see 300 this year.

 

[.Mob]

No, no chance, G&S splitting, no.

 

[max_dillon2007]

It wud be good if Mumbai Indians get K.P but seriously they need Freddie or someone like freddie(though there is none) to boost their bowling attack. Batting is awesome, Sachin-Jayasurya with uthappa,Bravo and ronchi to follow and K.P might be there. well we had to admit one thing. Though T20 may be ruining test cricket,but the matches in IPL are of highest quality of cricket, IMO every team is equally balanced, noone is underdog. last three group stage matches which mumbai india lost went till the last ball. 3 concecutive nail biters.

perhaps u had not seen warner bat, start following Aussie domestic season and you wud know why he is such a threat. just think bout it, M.R. cricket michael hussey had to score 10000 first class runs to get his first chance in Aussie team. and this warner played 9 T20 games and a couple of ODI games for NSW and get international call and might open in 3rd ODI. Aussie selectors wont give such a chance unless it is a special talent, last time they did so,we see a young Michael Clarke scoring 151 on debut against india. Mark my words, Sehwag-Warner would be the opening partership of ipl2009.
